Lyrics
You got a fast car
– Unemoto esheshayo
I want a ticket to anywhere
– Ngifuna ithikithi lokuya noma kuphi
Maybe we make a deal
– Mhlawumbe senza isivumelwano
Maybe together we can get somewhere
– Mhlawumbe ndawonye singafika kwenye indawo
Any place is better
– Noma iyiphi indawo ingcono
Startin’ from zero, got nothing to lose
– Ukuqala kusuka ku-zero, akunalutho olungalahleka
Maybe we’ll make something
– Mhlawumbe sizokwenza okuthile
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
– Mina ngokwami, anginalutho engingalufakazela
You got a fast car
– Unemoto esheshayo
I got a plan to get us out of here
– Nginecebo lokusikhipha lapha
I been working at the convenience store
– Ngangisebenza esitolo sokudla
Managed to save just a little bit of money
– Wakwazi ukonga imali encane nje
Won’t have to drive too far
– Ngeke kudingeke ukuba ushayele kude kakhulu
Just across the border and into the city
– Ngaphesheya komngcele futhi ungene edolobheni
You and I can both get jobs
– Mina nawe singathola imisebenzi
Finally see what it means to be living
– Ekugcineni bona ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuphila
See, my old man’s got a problem
– Bheka, indoda yami endala inenkinga
He lives with the bottle, that’s the way it is
– Uhlala nebhodlela, yilokho okuyikho
He says his body’s too old for working
– Uthi umzimba wakhe usumdala kakhulu ukuba ungasebenza
His body’s too young to look like his
– Umzimba wakhe usemncane kakhulu ukuba ubukeke njengowakhe
Mama went off and left him
– Umama wahamba wamshiya
She wanted more from life than he could give
– Wayefuna okungaphezu kwalokho ayengakunikeza ekuphileni
I said, “somebody’s got to take care of him”
– Ngathi, “othile kumelwe amnakekele”
So I quit school and that’s what I did
– Ngakho ngayeka isikole futhi yilokho engakwenza
You got a fast car
– Unemoto esheshayo
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
– Ingabe kuyashesha ngokwanele ukuba sikwazi ukundiza?
Still gotta make a decision
– Kusadingeka wenze isinqumo
Leave tonight, or live and die this way
– Shiya namuhla ebusuku, noma uphile futhi ufe ngale ndlela
So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
– Ngakho, ngikhumbula lapho sishayela, sishayela emotweni yakho
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
– Ngashesha kakhulu, ngazizwa sengathi ngidakiwe
City lights lay out before us
– Izibani zedolobha zibekwe phambi kwethu
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
– Futhi ingalo yakho yazizwa isongwe kahle ‘ ehlombe lami
And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged
– Futhi mina, nganginomuzwa wokuthi ngingowami
I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
– Mina, nganginomuzwa wokuthi ngingaba umuntu, ngibe umuntu, ngibe umuntu
You got a fast car
– Unemoto esheshayo
We go cruisin’, entertain ourselves
– Siya emkhunjini, sizijabulise
You still ain’t got a job
– Awusenawo umsebenzi
So I work in a market as a checkout girl
– Ngakho ngisebenza emakethe njengentombazane ekhokha
I know things will get better
– Ngiyazi ukuthi izinto zizoba ngcono
You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
– Uzothola umsebenzi futhi ngizothuthukiswa
We’ll move out of the shelter
– Sizosuka endaweni yokukhosela
Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs
– Thenga indlu enkulu, uhlala emaphethelweni edolobha
So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
– Ngakho, ngikhumbula lapho sishayela, sishayela emotweni yakho
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
– Ngashesha kakhulu, ngazizwa sengathi ngidakiwe
City lights lay out before us
– Izibani zedolobha zibekwe phambi kwethu
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
– Futhi ingalo yakho yazizwa isongwe kahle ‘ ehlombe lami
And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged
– Futhi mina, nganginomuzwa wokuthi ngingowami
I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
– Mina, nganginomuzwa wokuthi ngingaba umuntu, ngibe umuntu, ngibe umuntu
You got a fast car
– Unemoto esheshayo
I got a job that pays all our bills
– Ngathola umsebenzi okhokhela zonke izikweletu zethu
You stay out drinking late at the bar
– Uhlala ngaphandle uphuza sekwephuzile endaweni yokudlela
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
– Bona abangane bakho ngaphezu kwakho izingane zakho
I’d always hoped for better
– Ngangilokhu ngithemba okungcono
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
– Wacabanga mhlawumbe wena nami sasiyokuthola
I got no plans, I ain’t going nowhere
– Anginazo izinhlelo, angiyi ndawo
So take your fast car and keep on driving
– Ngakho thatha imoto yakho fast futhi uqhubeke ukushayela
So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
– Ngakho, ngikhumbula lapho sishayela, sishayela emotweni yakho
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
– Ngashesha kakhulu, ngazizwa sengathi ngidakiwe
City lights lay out before us
– Izibani zedolobha zibekwe phambi kwethu
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
– Futhi ingalo yakho yazizwa isongwe kahle ‘ ehlombe lami
And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged
– Futhi mina, nganginomuzwa wokuthi ngingowami
I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
– Mina, nganginomuzwa wokuthi ngingaba umuntu, ngibe umuntu, ngibe umuntu
You got a fast car
– Unemoto esheshayo
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
– Ingabe fast ngokwanele ukuze ukwazi ukundiza away?
You still gotta make a decision
– Kusadingeka wenze isinqumo
Leave tonight, or live and die this way
– Shiya namuhla ebusuku, noma uphile futhi ufe ngale ndlela
